… But I don't think Fuller's actually practice true parti-gyling? I think true "parti-gyle" should be restricted to the old practice of successive mashing and running off from the same grain. No sparging. Whereas Fuller's turn out a single high-gravity runoff and dilute to get different beers Nope,...

Would adding a couple ounces of actual marmalade to the fermenter work? I think the description of "marmalade" is more abstract than that? I struggled with it for ages until I dispensed with my idea of marmalade (high fruit content, loads of bitter Seville oranges, probably thick-cut) and thought "...

A somewhat better picture taken in the sun yesterday (it is very refreshing): Not gin clear, but yeap, it's "blonde"! Also a bowl of pistachio nuts just to wind Guy up.

More almonds!!!!!

Why would you regard a random web designer in Quebec as some kind of authority on weights and measures? They've obviously got confused between ounce weights and fluid ounce volumes - the former were standardised indirectly in 1959 by an agreement between the various English-speaking countries to cr...

Hoy! They are cashew nuts. I've gone upmarket.

Great post there PB! =D> WA Thanks very much! A few weeks on and the beer did fall bright, but I think I'll have to rethink how I clarify these beers - its taken too long: 20200515_203142_WEB.jpg Still got its outrageous head! Oh aye. The marvellously fragrant hop scent dissipated after about a wee...

Cor ... look what I've just found! Taken last Friday, it's my take on BierMunchers Centennial Blonde (honest!):

… Not true - here we are talking about the ounce weight which is the same in both countries. … Yes, that's what I thought too. But I'll often just Google-check some of my replies before posting them and was surprised to find in the first result https://www.conversionunites.com/converter-ounce-us-to...

https://www.jimsbeerkit.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=82353 There's barely any difference with American Oz and UK Oz (but they are not identical!). But just like there is 16 Oz in a Lb, in the US there is 16 Fluid Oz in a Pint (20 in Imperial measures, so Gallons are all different too.). (EDIT: ...

P.S. I was using a pack well past its best-before date for the second fermentation. I'm using the multi-step approach simply because I haven't the patience to try anything better. For yeast packs past their date I can't recommend my technique. Try "McMullen's" published earlier in the thread. One of...

For an actual comparison, each starting from a freshly opened pack intended for 25L. First off the old "flawed" technique of just giving more time (2 steps, close to best-before date, for 23L batch). This is what I published in an earlier post but scaled to better compare with the following graph: P...

^^^^^ The predicted response of someone not liking to be implicated in sparking off my long-winded babbling!

Hopefully my yeast starter predictions will be equally as accurate.

I'm really not sure what was supposed to have happened (or didn't) to be so anxious, let alone to be 'picking over the lessons learnt'. It was a fermentation, not a national crisis. Perhaps you should discuss it with this bloke . He seems to know what he's typing about :^o :lol: I've a niggle to ge...

You know this character? You just tell him from me …
